The fun day is on Sunday from 8.30am to 3.30pm at Shellharbour Airport.
The Convoy will depart under police escort from the Illawarra Coal's West Cliff Colliery on Appin Road about 8am and follow a route that will take them down Mt Ousley through Warrawong and past Stockland Shellharbour, through Albion Park Rail, then into the Shellharbour Airport for the fun day.
The fun day will feature live performances from Australian rock legends Hoodoo Gurus, pop favourites and reality TV stars The Veronicas, award-winning country artist Jayne Denham and Illawarra indie surf-rockers Swells.
The day will also include FMX motocross displays, kids' rides, helicopter joy flights, motor vehicle static displays, food and market stalls and more.
In 2018, the Convoy relocated from its long-time home at the Croome Road Sporting Complex to the Shellharbour Airport.
"Moving the whole event to the airport was quite a task, but the space we had to work with was incredible," Convoy manager Mark Rigby said.
"This allowed us to expand the amount of stalls and attractions, plus the sight of hundreds of trucks lined up down the runway was amazing.
"It's a fantastic venue for our free family fun day and as we have seen during Wings Over Illawarra, the airport can handle thousands of people effectively."
